Corporate Presentation

About Niobium

Niobium is a naturally occurring element. It is a metal that is ductile, malleable and highly resistant to corrosion. Because it enhances properties and functionalities, niobium is used in a wide range of materials and applications in the Mobility, Structural and Energy sectors. Niobium transforms materials. When added to materials like steel, glass and aluminum castings, niobium makes them more efficient and lowers environmental impacts, while also increased value.

Projects

Crevier

The Crevier deposit was discovered in 1974 by SOQUEM. NioBay Metals acquired it in 2008 with the goal to extract both niobium and tantalum. Thanks to the Crevier project, NioBay Metals would become the only producer of niobium oxide and tantalum in North America.

Foothills

On February 7, 2024, NioBay signed a definitive option agreement with Vior Inc. to acquire an undivided 80% interest in Vior’s Foothills Project, On February 7, 2024, with strong potential for the discovery of critical and strategic metals. It covers most of the contact of the intrusive zone known as the St. Urbain anorthosite. Samples with a high phosphate content, an element newly added to Quebec’s list of critical and strategic metals, were taken at the site in the summer of 2023.

James Bay

The James Bay property was discovered in 1966 by Consolidated Morrison Explorations. NioBay Metals acquired it in 2016.

QTZ

The QTZ exploration project is northwest of its Crevier property and includes 257 mining claims. The Company will verify the Lithium (Li) potential in this area following completion of its compilation work. This newly staked area adds 14,116 ha to the portfolio of mining claims for NioBay.
